• SQL Server Instance TCP port misconfiguration on cluster leads to unrecorverable situation....

  Hi all. I have ran into a annoying situatin on sql cluster. Config is: w2k3 EE x64 r2 - two nodes sql 2005 x64 standart v2153 2instances, active-active cluster. While changing tcp port configuration of one instance (using configuration manager) I have acidentaly created that setting: - All IP dynamic port and All IP port was set to same number while separate IPs have enabled dynamic ports and does not have static port set. This situation leads to unability of starting the instance anymore. There is no need wide explanation, its quite clear - while starting instace, it was configured with static port and with dynamic port with the same number, so port conflict error takes place. Problem was how to escape from this situation. On non clustere ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form show unrequested

  To get some experience using VBE, I converted a simple program I once made for myself(VB5). It's a birthday calendar, using a VB5 commandbutton for each day of the year, i found that VBE has great problems handling this many controls, it is slow, very slow and realy unworkable. Some where else in this forum I found that others with a lot of controls experience the same problems and there is no neat solution for it. In the mid 80's the basicinterpreter was quicker than this VBE with a machine that is 2000 times faster. Another problem I have is that the main(start) form of the program shows up unrequested. In the load section of the (start)form I show another form from which I normally select whether I show the (start)form or not. The se ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to make a HID device look like a MIDI device?

  Hi, I'm new to device controller programming. I'm making a MIDI controller with USB support. I want to implement the USB support with a low cost chip programing it's firmware. But i can't implement the USB protocol due to hardware requirements. The only thing i can do is making a firmware for a HID device. How can i then make that device look like a MIDI This is possible, right At least, is possible to connect a MIDI device to a joystick port and use, and if the joystick is HID then it's possible to do it. Any tips here Thx, Best regards, Nuno Santos PS: i know this is not the appropriated forum to ask this but i could not find the right one, so please, if you think that i should be asking this in another place, please tell me.

• .NET Development SerialPort issues

  Hi, I just started using the SerialPort class, but I have some problems on sending and receiving. When I use WriteLine and ReadLine everything works fine, but, when I use Read and Write or the event DataReceived with ReadExisting, I don't get back the correct data. For example, if I send the string "Hello" with Write, after converting it to an array of bytes, I receive, on the other side, something like "He\0ll\0o" or even worse. Using the event, looks like it's splitting the string in two different messages. What do I have to do to make everything working I'm a serial port newbie, so I don't know much about this kind of communication. Thanks in advance for your kind help, Massimo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Retreive Project location

  Is there a way to retrieve the location entered by the user when creating a new project similar to $safeprojectname$ ie File > New Project Or will I have to use EnvDTE to determine the path of the project Kosmo Hi Kosmo, Sorry I wasn't clear enough. The version of the Clarius SFT that contains this provider is not out yet (that is why I pasted the source code so you can use it right away before waiting for it). The error you're getting is because "base.VisualStudio", this assumes your ValueProvider type inherits from "ValueProviderBase" (which is a base type for all value providers in the SFT providing extra features). So you have two options: 1) add a reference to Clarius.Guid ...Show All

• SQL Server Skipping parts of stored procedures

  My answer to this would be to comment out the portion of the proc that you don't want to run, is this correct thx, Kat Yes, if you do not want them to execute under any circumstances this is right. If you want to execute them in a conditional manner, like only execute a portion of the stored procedure if a parameter is of some value or a query check evaluates to a certain value you would have to code that with an appropiate statement in your stored procedure.

• SQL Server Report Run from a list instead of all

  I am not sure where i should post this question since it falls both in Report Server and T-Sql but here goes... I currently need to run a Report that has only specified records that the client/user wants clicking the check in the check box next to the record they want. They can pick as many or a few of the records that want then run a report only with the records they indicated they wanted... i am thinking they will need some kind of t-sql statement either a function or temp table but i am not sure if even that... if anyone has any ideas please reply... Thanks, WoFe WoFe: One way to implement a short list process is to implement something like Jen Suessmeyer's "split" function; this function can be found at: ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D Arcade Space Shooter, Bullet firing

  I'm fairly new to C#, OOP, XNA, you name it. I am however trying to take some initiative and go ahead and make an actual game (I made a Tic-Tac-Toe game before to try out XNA). So far my ideas for this game are to have a : Player Class: Moves the player's ship, creates bullets and tells them where to go. Enemy Class: Controls the Enemy's AI and handles collision with bullets. EnemyManager Class: Controls spawning enemies, checking their state and then updating them. (I need help with this, I originally wanted to hold an array of about 20 enemies, so I can keep recycling the objects but I'm finding this difficult if anyone has any advice on this or references for me to look at.)

• Windows Forms How to choose the execution thread for a delegate?

  Hello. I wonder how to choose a specific execution thread for a delegate. With "simple" async delegate calls, we just know it will run on some thread of the thread pool, but not on which one. Control.Invoke(...) method allow to get the delegate running on the GUI thread of the control. The BackgroundWorker component matches it, I don't know how, to get back to the "main" thread (in opposition to the worker thread), whithout a reference to a control. Is there any way I can do something similar to the BackgroundWorker component, choosing the executing thread for a delegate without reference to a control Thanks... ;) Well, I've implemented my own "async" model, savin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to resize the window

  I am working on a 2D pacman game, and I need the window to be in the exact increment as my tile sizes which are 16 x 16 and 32 x 32. I was wondering if anyone knew how to resize the application window. Thanks in advance for the help. Easy solution is to adjust the properties of the "graphics" object during design time. Click on the "graphics" component after showing the Game design surface. The properties "BackBufferHeight" and "BackBufferWidth" are set to zero by default. Adjust them to whatever resolution you want. If you are using fullscreen, they must be set to a resolution that is supported by your graphics card, i.e. 800x600, 1280x1024, etc. LySop ...Show All
